HAIKU STRINGS

Posted by allthingsthatmatterpress on October 18, 2009 at 1:19 PM

Poetic Melodies By Nancy Lee Shrader


"Poetic Melodies" takes the familiar Haiku to a

new level. Each seventeen syllable haiku is able to

stand alone, but when joined with other haikus,

they tell a story, a truth, a rant or a tribute. You

will find 101 First Place HAIKU STRINGS and six

of these have placed FIRST a second time. Five of

the Haiku Strings have been featured in "All

Things Girl Magazine" and eight others have

received Titled Awards. Other Japanese forms

added to this collection are Senryu, Inversed

Haiku, and Hay (na) ku.

I have published haiku for over a dozen years and very much enjoyed Nancy Lee Shrader 's collection, HAIKU STRINGS. A great gift for poets/haiku lovers!

All Japanese first is an enjoyable form of writing. I have written haiku, tamka, senryu, kasen renga, etc. I am even considering penning a haibun. This will be a book that I will definitely check out.

I'll start off saying that I have no idea what to do with my life. I had aspirations to be a video game designer when I was 11 or so, but a few years later my Dad finally proved to me that going into such a competitive, fast paced field isn't the wisest move. Other than that, I've never had an overall goal for my life.

So now I'm almost 23, and I'm finally gritting my teeth making that big push towards getting my life going. I'm at absolute zero as far as life goes. Single, no debt, unemployed, clean record, average GPA, High School Diploma...so maybe that isn't exactly zero, but that's about where I'd place myself.

My current plans are to join the Air Force and take advantage of the GI Bill, which covers up to 4 years of college after serving a minimum of 2 years, or 3 years for full monetary benefits. It's at this point I realized I need a heading, a goal...and fast.

I have a considerably high IQ, I just never really applied myself to anything. I can't list much for my interests. I love the English language, reading, writing, poetry. I love philosophy and psychology, and who doesn't love technology and video games? But I don't know if I'm interested enough for a career in those fields. Basically, I wrote that out to help you help me, but please don't confine your ideas to those boundaries.

With the military, I can get a Bachelor's Degree. I think this is the most realistic end-game goal. Maybe I could push for a higher degree in the future, but I don't have to plan that far, and who knows what the future holds?

There's always the idea of owning my own business when all is said and done. I've never liked the idea of people making money off of my work, but everyone has a price right?

I wanted to post this on this forum because this website is a great resource for job trends, but I don't even know what to type in the search engine, and I really want a 6 year projection. The job market is constantly changing and evolving, so where's it going?
